This lesson is a little gem to help you nail that sweet spot between a consistent bass note with your thumb and some tasty melody notes with your fingers.

Excellent lesson and lots of fun to play! One small point @larynejg - the chord names above bars 11 (B7), 12 (A7) and 16 (E9) are missing from the downloadable tab.

That was a fun introduction to the solo blues course. When are the rest of the lessons coming ? Hopefully early 2025

That B7 bar is tricky! I’m not having too much difficulty with the rest of it but I’m going to need to practice that one bar at a snail’s pace in order to nail it.

Hi Mark @Gomer33
Coincidentally, I spoke yesterday When new ones will come
here in my ll …I now very soon . 
, Every time I open my Justin email with joyful anticipation… 
These are indeed great lessons for so many things and certainly also timing, I think I find these the most fun songs to play (so far)…
Greetings and I hope we see something of your progress 
Greetings,Rogier
Really love these. Found them difficult to start with especially the b7, but if there is an example of how doing it very slowly,bit by bit works, this is it. Real feeling of accomplishment 
Hey hey, guys and Justin. I recorded the final track in my own vision. I really appreciate your check out and feedback. Feel free to leave them.

So my workout routine now is to learn to play these riffs?(pls answer)
@math07 has replied to this same question you ask in the other topic you posted in.
Add them to your practice routine if this a skill you want to develop.

@Konga A 5-10 minutes slot in your daily practice routine like Toby says can go a long way. Those songs look hard at first, but you’d be surprised at how much progress you can make by practicing a little bit every day.
Finally, I’d not recommend learning the 3 songs at the same time, do them one at a time.

I keep my practice routine of the grade 3 last course and i add 5-10 minutes of these riffs? or i only do the riffs? (I rly enjoy these lessons btw)
Yes add it into your current schedule.
Any reason to back this statement up? I’ve always learnt between 3 to 5 songs at the same time. Main reason was it keeps me from getting bored. If you practice an hour a day in 5 minute blocks that leaves 11 blocks to fill.
I add it to the previous routine from the grade 3 right? because i dont have schedule my own workout,its ok if i put it in the grade 3 practice routine??
(sorry for so many questions,is the last one)
What ever works for you, there is no right or wrong. If you are using one of the Grade 3 module practice routines, just do an extra 10 minutes Solo Blues if you have the time.
Could be at the beginning, middle or end, what ever suits you.

ok, thank you!
Hi Rick,
I do know that the steady thumb primer is intended as a warm-up for steady thumb blues because otherwise the step is too big for the number of people, that is what Justin says at the beginning of the Primer (I’m guessing that Mathieu @math07 had that in mind while tapping…is that right?)…but it doesn’t say it is a “must”,and they can also be mixed up nicely to make it your own song (or to catch mistakes/forgetfulness 
)…I’m also learning a lot of songs myself (actually a little too many) at the same time to avoid boredom… I did these in order one after the other, but that was because I found it difficult enough per piece…
I now play the last 2 by heart and play them every week, the first one has disappeared from my memory…
so @Konga do what works for you ,There are already some recordings of fellow students. And if you don’t get close to the people after months (many different ones to see) then you’re probably doing it wrong … have fun
Greetings
